Kanani Thomas, 31, has been named head coach of the Harbor High’s girls basketball team, Pirates athletics director Hollis O’Brien announced on Wednesday.

Thomas served as an assistant under Keyana Stanford last season, when the Pirates went 4-20 overall, 0-10 in the Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League. Stanford resigned in July.

“I’m excited for the players coming in and the others who are hungry and working hard to turn the program around,” Thomas said.

Thomas returns three players who received all-SCCAL honorable mention honors last season: senior post Gianna Scalzo and senior guards Samantha Gonzalez and Hannah Pais. The team also boasts significantly improved sophomore guard Silvee Bedran and junior Carmen Azmitia, a transfer from Santa Cruz who has to sit out the early portion of the season.
